Getting to the root of opioid addictions - Topix

Link The root of the problems begins with doctors not supervising their patients. Not keeping up with their pain management issues and doing their jobs. They provided too many pain pills uneccessarily to too many patient's. Without supervision and checking them after they took the meds for a while. They just wrote scripts and left the patients on their own to get addicted. As for the heroin users they are just trying to numb themselves from reality. They all have some sort of underlying problems in their lives otherwise they wouldn't need to be self medicating themselves for numerous years on end! I am a perfect example of this, I used drugs & alcohol for the past 35+ years, I was self medicating. Because of depression, and other issues in my life. I am now in Recovery and in the Opioid MMT program. I am sucessfully drugfree for the past 3 1/2yrs now. I never been sucessful before. I am now and loving the non-drug use of illicit drugs.I wished I would have done this sooner, but I didn't even know about this option. I could have had a better life before now! I say that methadone has helped me out of lifetime of drug abuse. I am looking forward to the future now and before I could never had said them words ever in my lifetime

Changing our thoughts....

my_heart.jpg Native American heart colage image by roseashm

"The first factor in the revolution of consciousness is the mystic death of the ego - the death of negative thinking, negative personalities. We must purify the soul of the inner enemies. Every time a defect manifests - envy, gluttony, anger, lust, whatever - that impulse to the heart. Ask, `Do I really need to invoke this?' And then honor the heart."

--Willaru Huayta, QUECHAU NATION, PERU

Our egos have character defects. These character defects we sometimes act out and they invariably bring results to our lives that we might not want. If we continue to use these character defects, we will continue to have undesirable results in our lives. How do we change ourselves or get rid of a character defects. We can go to the heart and ask a question, make a decision, then honor the heart. For example, say I get angry today. I would go to the heart and ask, would I rather be right or would I rather be happy? How we answer this question can have an enormous impact on how our day goes. Once we decide the answer to this question, we need to honor the heart by saying, "Thank you for the power of changing my thoughts. I choose to be happy and to experience peace of mind."

Great Spirit, today, let me teach only love and learn only love

Remember Mother Earth

There's a deep wound in people - that they have been so cut off from the source of their being, their mother, their Earth Mother."

--Francis Story Talbott II (Medicine Story), WAMPANOAG

When we are connected to the Earth Mother, or when we are clear on our purpose, we will feel connected and safe. We will feel love. When we are disconnected from the Earth Mother, or we don't know who we are or why we are, we will feel pain. It will be similar to a little child who has lost its Mother. We will hurt insid - we will be wounded within. If this happens to the whole community, the people will be very sad and lost. It will seem like there is death in the air. When this happens, it is time for ceremony and reconnection to God and Mother Earth. This is the time of prayer.

Great Mystery, today, help me to stay connected to the Earth and to You, my Creator.

Native American Medicine Wheel

"By listening to the inner self and following one's instincts and intuitions, a person may be guided to safety."
--Dr. A.C. Ross (Ehanamani), LAKOTA

Be still and know. The Medicine Wheel teaches the four directions of inner power - not personal power, but the power of God. These four directions are emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual. As our emotions get too far out of control, we simultaneously create an equivalent mental picture, our physical body fills with stress and tension, and we become spiritually confused. When we experience these uptight feelings, the best thing to do is mentally pause, slow down our thinking, breathe slowly, or pray and ask the spirits to help. Only when we approach the stillness of the mind do we get access to our spiritual guidance system. To be guided, let your mind be still.

Creator, today, let me reside in Your stillness

REMEMBER THIS

"The manner with which we walk through life is each man's most important responsibility, and we should remember this with every new sunrise."

--Thomas Yellowtail, CROW

Every spiritual person should carry a vision of God's will in every area of their life. One day at a time, each morning at sunrise, we should spend time praying to the Creator. We should say something like, my Creator, this morning I ask you to show me, in terms I can understand, what you have for me to do. By doing this daily, over time, we will develop an unquestionable vision. Each person is responsible for taking the time to do this. It will bring great joy and peace of mind to those warriors who do.

My Creator, give me the vision, today, of what you want me to do
